I rarely watch TV shows
I don't watch American dramas at all.
I think those ups and downs, full of emotion, go too far, too much, until I watched the jinx, I think this is what a good story should be like.
This is the only TV series that I don't want to do a second time because I fell in love with the male lead, but it's still a documentary full of intricate details.
There are too many angles in this article. Friends and neighbors have already mentioned, the indifferent upper-class family, the contradiction of love across classes, the distorted personality that grows up from the lack of love and attention. Every character that appears in this film is vivid and full, and seems to have ghosts. Has never given up on Kathleen's friend, Kathleen's mother, Susan's stepson, a prosecutor who has ambitions to run for governor, Bob's lawyer, a prosecutor who wept for not bringing Bob to justice. Every character is intriguing. However, now standing at the core of this black hole, there is a pair of eyes with almost no whites, and the person who seems to be able to suck you in is Bob.
----------------------------- (high-energy spoiler dividing line)
Before the last few words of self-talk, the content presented in this film is basically public content, that is, the appearance of Bob in front of everyone. This is a silver-haired, a little rickety old man, handsome and elegant, arrogant and distant, polite at all times. Whether he kills or not (maybe I'm spoiled, so I've never suspected it was him), you'll think he should have hard times that you don't know about, you're attracted to him, sympathize with him, or even to some extent I am willing to forgive him (as kathleen's family said, we also pray for bob, hope he has peace of mind, as a friend who has always hoped kathleen's injustice said that he saw bob smile at himself in court, like Seeing all the friends I haven't seen for many years, I don't have any malicious smiles, and I feel very sad.) Bob talked about his childhood experience at the beginning of the interview, and seemed to imply that he could explain his eccentricity later, and gain everyone's sympathy. However, we You have to be sober at this time, these are the appearances of Bob in front of everyone. Just like any of us, you are different at work and at home, and you are different from strangers and relatives. The way we show to outsiders is often the more endearing, or we say, more social, and more recognizable side of the public.
Then, bob said that murmur that reminded me of the little girl in Detective Chinatown with that devilish smile at the end, he said: you are right, I was wrong...what the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course. What is creepy is not the fact that he kills them all (the fact is clear enough) but his attitude, which is very different from what he is in front of others. The cringe and quibble in front of people make people feel that he agrees with the universal values of society (respect for life, self and social balance), while in the world where he is alone, he says, kill them all, of course. Killing them, in his own fundamental cognition, there is no doubt, there is no problem. You can't kill people, this is just what I did to show you in order to match your values.
Many people say that Bob's behavior is incredible, but it is very clear from Freud's theory that Bob is a person with a very strong id and almost no superego, and a person who has not been truly socialized. In his heart, he is completely driven by his own needs and never really considers anyone else's feelings. A lot of people say he really loved kathleen because kathleen's departure sparked a destructive desire he was afraid of losing. Actually I don't think so, kathleen is more like a toy he liked when he was a child, he doesn't really respect her, let alone love, we don't even bother to talk to kathleen's family from him, even if kathleen is crying Complaining to him has no effect on him. If you don't want to talk, you just don't want to. Kathleen never made a phone call to care for her family after her death, and there was no monetary compensation. After kathleen died, his only thought was to get rid of the crime, I hope everyone believes that she is missing, don't bother me again, leave me alone. He doesn't want children, he threatens Kath to divorce if he has children, controls Kath, and is always the one who gives orders. When Kath wants to divorce and divide his property, if he doesn't want to, he will kill her. Everything starts from his own needs. After many years of Kath's death, during the interview process of the documentary, the director asked him, do you think you need to take some responsibility for Kath's death? He said, I would think that if she had met an ordinary person on Long Island, maybe she would have lived an ordinary and happy life. In Bob's cognition, she shouldn't have met me, but there is no problem with me killing her, it is inevitable. When bob described their married life, he said very calmly, and then it got worse and worse, like walking into a quagmire, and there was no way out. This started when I asked her to have an abortion, she became reluctant to drive for me, she asked for independence. Bob doesn't love her anymore when Kath has his own will. In other words, Bob may not have loved anyone other than his mother. As long as anyone around him did something that he felt threatened his own interests, he would naturally want to kill him, including Susan, the old neighbor, and his younger brother.
Going back to the last murmur, many people said that Bob challenged the law, so he was confused. I don't think so. Bob is a willful person, and he is not as rigorous as everyone thinks. He has murdered many times, and the method is actually very clumsy. The lawyer and his family know that he did it (think of his brother's fear of death), but he can get away every time because he has money. And this kind of luck has fueled his willfulness, he can do whatever he wants, and only if he doesn't want to die, will he be willing to compromise and cooperate with mainstream values to tell lies and fight lawsuits. Bob has his cleverness, he doesn't fight, but explains too much, so he's not annoying, and it's not easy to reveal flaws. He said, what have I done? Of course I killed them all. When he said this, his mind acquiesced, and everyone knew that I killed people, but I won't admit it in public, you can't do anything about me. What's the point of looking for all kinds of evidence to ask around?
Thanks for the added news from friends and neighbors, Bob used to kill dogs when he was a child, and he is now locked up in a mental hospital. Is bob mentally ill? I don't think he has any problems with his cognition of society and his own behavior. The problem with him is that he is a person who has not completed socialization. There is more animality in him than humanity, does he have an antisocial personality? I don't think so, because his kills aren't even random. Did he enjoy the process of killing? Perhaps there is a point, from the point of view of killing dogs. But according to the information so far, he didn't kill a lot of people, and there is still a gap between the famous murderers in history who couldn't restrain the urge to kill. Most of the reason he kills a person is out of hatred, or because he thinks that person will be bad for him.
Finally, I want to talk about Bob's family, why he has not completed socialization and has not formed a superego. At the age of seven, his external emotional bond, the most important person that took him on the road to human socialization, his mother fell to her death. He witnessed his mother's death. Including the death of my mother, my father was very indifferent. His emotional development may have ceased at that time, and at the same time a kind of indifference to life, an indifference to blood and death was born. As a role model for young boys to imitate unconsciously, his father, who was also a very alienated and indifferent person, further forged his self-identity. But why, among the four children in the family, is he the only one who has gone to extremes? There must still be a problem with his ego, and we have no way of knowing about the psychological changes involved in his entire growth process.
Bob didn't want to die. From the dismemberment of the neighbor case, the court ruled that he was not guilty. The relief on his face and the uncontrollable happy expression could be seen. The reason why he keeps killing is because he feels that it is nothing (subjectively killing him will not cause him to feel guilty, objectively it will not cause him to be harmed, and he can get rid of the crime every time), and he longs for recognition all his life, and he likes it Kath couldn't because of her outgoing and social. He was respected by the prisoners in the prison and called him Mr bob. He felt very satisfied. He was deprived of his inheritance. He has wandered outside his brother's house many times, and it is estimated that he has hidden evil intentions. Why does he go to extremes? If he was brought to justice for killing Kath for the first time, he wouldn't and couldn't always do whatever he wanted. Maybe he could still reflect and have a better life, at least it wouldn't end the lives of innocent people abruptly. .
